    If Nama is just a State-aid to banks - will the EU/other banks not quash it?

    5 quick points
    1. Nama will give a valuation for an asset which a bank owns of 30% less than book value.
    2. Then add 7bn to the total.
    3. Judge Peter Kelly says commercial property is 70% off peak.
    4 EU competition law, non-distortion of single markets and ecb dictats (see Spanish and Dutch banks) say saying over the odds cannot be done as it is a State Aid.

    My questions:
    If the above are correct, does that not mean that Nama is doomed?
    Will The State end up owning some/all of the banks, however temporarily?
    Has anyone or any bank objected to nama as a state aid yet?
    If Nama legislation is to take until January, is it Lenny's game to get us to September?
    Will the markets not make up their own mind in the interim?

    Nama is a scam job.It gets the government and banks out off hole,while they shaft the people with debt.The banksters will not be lending money to business they will hoard ,or take the safe bet buying government debt,shafting the people twice.Nama is rottten, disgusting ,and economic treason.

    A champion of the people emerges with the age-old and appealing promise of "something for nothing" - to be financed through every-increasing taxes. Supply and demand are thrown out of gear - the overhead goes up; the effective use of human energy goes down; the standard of living is lowered because money cannot buy wealth that is not produced.

    All banks, domestic or foreign, can participate in NAMA, therefore it does not constitute state aid.

    Next?

    are all banks, foreign and domestic, eligible for State recapitalisation at the same time?

    That only gets around the unfair competition rules goosebump.

    The state aid issue is separate and Europe seems to be getting tougher than many had expected on state aid.

    since the Irish plan is the most shareholder friendly deal out there the Irish bank have suffered the most in the last few days.

    How EU law is applied - State aid

    State Aids are part of competition law, not separate to it.

    indeed, BoI is 50% down since the start of October

    Yes, but NAMA only holds appeal for banks that are grossly undercapitalised.
